After several months of searching, Kent-Meridian High finally landed a new head football coach on Monday night.
Brett Allen, who coached wide receivers and linebackers at Kent-Meridian from 2001-2004 and who is an English teacher at Mill Creek Middle School, was officially announced as the new coach on Monday after several weeks of speculation.
Allen was an assistant football coach at Auburn Mountainview in 2005.
Allen will take over for Trevor Roberts, who stepped down in late February after three years at the helm of the program. In three years at Kent-Meridian, Roberts compiled a record of 7-23. The high-water mark came in Roberts’ first year, when he guided the Royals to a 5-5 overall record, the program’s best single-season record of the decade.
Kent-Meridian is coming off a 1-9 campaign.
